- bediger4000 4y agoMaybe, but that's part of the larger question of what moral failings lead to an individual becoming a spammer. Perhaps spamming is so repugnant, and so low-yield once you get into it, that only the very un-intelligent remain as spammers, a sort of "dead sea effect" or a manifestation of Dunning-Kruger. In any case, it seems like only real research would settle the question.
